STEVE CAMP

Start Believin’ (Myrrh MSB-6621) 1980

Check out Steve on the cover: that scowl, that sweaty brow, pointing that finger, gettin’ down with his bad self. This is Steve’s disco/pop/r&b record, and a fairly slick groove-worthy one at that, with horn section, strings and female backing vocals all getting a piece of the pie. Lots of ballads again, including another co-written with Larry Norman (‘Under His Love’). Steve would rock out a little more in the ‘80s, but both these records stand as better-than-average ccm.
